This chap is on here isn't he
I'm from Jersey and this weekend it has been the Jersey rally. This popped up on my news feed from a friend. Hope he and the car is ok!

Brakes worked fine as the 50 yd skidmarks prove lol , 6th gear crest into a 2nd gear 90 right , way too fast into it !
Quite a lot of damage , inner bays bent up as well , so needs a new front end and a jig , snapped a bottom arm so put us out of the rally , was up for this weekend as well , but that's rallying.
For the uneducated , this is a proper ex-works Prodrive built car , as used by Juha Kankunnen on the 1999 Monte Carlo , so comes with 365mm Alcon discs and AP 6 pot calipers as per the homologation , at the end of the day though not even a parachute would have helped lol

Out of interest Ian, would this car not of had a sequential box then ??
I noticed your car has a manual box from the interior vids you put up last week.

I wear a hand device , have done for 8 years , I won't rally without one , this nav doesn't , but will now ! This was only his second rally with me , not sure if I've scared him off , I wouldn't sit with me lol.
The note was actually 6 right long over crest , into double caution 2 right , the long should have been swapped for slowing , easy to say now viewing it over and over from an armchair , but on the recce seemed right , but that's one of the attractions of rallying , it's not just about being able to drive , it's a team event , driving off notes , not racing driving round and round the same track.
It doesn't get any better than closed road rallying , unless your in a hedge !

I'd sack him if I were you.
Or maybe your having problems finding people who want to be your co-driver,
given your recent history, I wonder why.
